KitchenAid Dishwasher Rack Adjuster Replacement #WPW10546503
Bought the part on July 7, 2023
Did the repair on Aug 28, 2023.
Problem: top drawer of dishwasher was flopping up and down, plastic pin on right side front drawer was sheared off. The part I had to replace was called a rack adjuster. During repair, I found a different broken part on left drawer also, so replaced both sides.
Comment on the video: excellent video. But remember when you install a plastic part more than once as is done preparing for the video, the part fits a whole lot easier than a brand new part out of the box.
Most difficult part: figuring out how to reinstall the drawer. It was a little tricky: you had to insert the back pin, then slide the drawer back into the slot on the drawer slide about 1/4 " , then insert front pin, then repeat for other side.
Observation: it may never have been installed right, which is why the plastic pin was broken.
Part ordered on Amazon, about half price than from other sources and is same quality (according to one confident video maker.)
